Actually it's just antihumanist, but yes it is totally deep, bro. Didn't even need drugs to come up with it either.
Think of all the things you could think of if you were on drugs in that case.

Donations are a possibility in a small government scenario.

It depends what you define as social program though.

Well to a degree but in a small government, if they asked for money for the politicians to do their jobs and run meetings, etc. it wouldn't work.

But very true though. Not impossible.

I agree, I would be in favor of taxation in a minarchist country.

If you want to cut back on spending, how about government salaries for politicians?

It's, sadly, just a small part, but totally agreed.

Wouldn't that still be oppressive?

More effective is cut back on military spending. Do the little crap later.

I wish that sort of system was possible. To a degree, it was implemented millenniums ago but it is impossible right now.

I'd like at least to see steps taken into that direction.

I wouldn't even be sure where to start.

Why Drug War first?

It's really expensive, criminalizes innocent people, makes drugs much less safe, kills a shitload of people, holds back a free (taxable) market and can be changed with about as much as a snip of a finger.

I agree 100% Good argument.

What do you think the components of the Drug War are? Most people would not say it could change with the snip of a finger.

Snip of a finger is certainly overstated. But I assume it can be done easier than some other things. And it is quite nauseating.
